ANXIOUS TO START.
The Terms Under Which Mr.. Fred
Appeiquist Is willing to Embark In


The Terms Under Which Mr. Fred
Appeiquist Is willing to Embark In
a Factory in Rock Island.
1t has heretofore been stated in the
ARGUS that Messrs. Fred Appelquist and
Fruitius Heintz have received patent for
new process of glass manufacture.
which promises not only to be of great
value to the industrial world, but of im>
immense advantage to the city wherein
the mandatory is located. The pro-
cess was invented by Mr.. Fruitius Heintz,
and consists of the bringing together of
coal smoke and hot air at point of com
bustion for melting the batch that makes
the glass, and intense and uniform heat
being thus secured that enables the use
of tank for melting instead of constant
~ renewed pots. while the amount of
fuel consumed is reduced fully oneshalf.
Here double saving is secured, and as
the glass is of the finest quality, the great
economic value of the patent is apparent
Mr.. Heiniz has already received suffi-
cient inducements to build a factory at
Streator, and is putting one up there, and
Mr. Appel9uist is anxious to put up one
Rock Island If he can make the necessary
arrangements to do so. He has abundant
property interests to make the venture,
but not the capital, and to enable HIM to
| obtain the cash necessary, he proposes to
sell his real estate and with the proceeds
start the industry either by himself, or
associated with others. He will retain
the practical knowledge of the business
and will only take into the company with
him such men as have sufficient capital
to assure its financial success.
Mr. Appelquist's real estate is located
at the corner of Third avenue and Sew
| enteenth street, the lot having Il frontage
of 50 feet on Third avenue by 159 feet
on Seventeenth street, and 10 addition a
lot 12Sx64 feet on Third avenue and
Seventh street. Mr.. Appelquist will sell
the entire property, both pieces, for s.
| 600. and the fact commends itself to the
| consideration of the new improvemen nj
syndicate. The lot OF Seventh street
| and Third avenue is admirably adapted
for fine row of tenement houses, while
the property on Third avenue and Sew
enteenth street is most desirable for a
business block, being in the very heart
of the city and fast growing part
of it. The improvement syndicate would
serve double purpose by taking this
property of Mr.. Appelquist's hands
not only in securing some fine property
at bargain, but in aiding the advent OF
a new industry into Rock Island

Cleanliness that Is Expensive.

Pointing to the brass sign with brass letters
before bis store door, a Broadway merchant
said the other day. There is a sign that cost
me over $500. As you can see yourself it is
not more than two feet square, and is made
of sheet metal less than half an inch thick,
yet it IL the most expensive appointment
ahout my entire place. How is that! I'll
tell you. That sign is thing Of beauty, in
fact it is only of use so long as it is kept
bright The variations Of our climate are SO
great that it takes persistent and patient
furnishing to keep the sign in any sort Of
condition, and to that end let the job out &c

such doorslde ornaments The sign cost me
originally, believe, $33, and in the ten years

An Important Industry to Locate


The Industrial World and Iron Worker
of Chicago, of July IS, has the following
information which will be of great inter-
est to Rock Island:
1t is stated that the Westinghouse All
Brake Co. contemplate establishing new
works at Rock Island, to cost $500, 900 in
order to save heavy freights on western

mands the attention of the committee oil

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. lin answer to a
letter from States Attorney Carr, asking
whether Lieutenant Governor Robinson
should be- paid his per diem and mileage as
lieutenant governor, the attorney general has
written ii long opinion, which he concludes as
follows: "He Robertsonl can not be denied
this compensation merely because the senate
refused to allow him to preside over it That
deual does not destroy his title as the title re-
manned il him notwithstanding the action of
the senate. 1t is clear that he is entitled to
the incident of the title, which is the COM
pensation therefore advise you that you
should allow the warrant which is claimed.
if the mileage and per diem are stated cor
rectly" Iii accordance with this opinion the
auditor issued his warrant TO Col Robertson
for 500 70, the full amount of his per diem
and mileage.

THE JUDGES CHARGE,
And the Jury Renders II Verdict of
Guilty.


After an intermlssion OF Ave min.
utes at the close OF Col. Fellows's adj
dress Judge Barrett proceeded to de-
liver his charge 10 the jury. He be-
gan by saying that this was the first
time in the history Of our jurispru-
dence when man had been MADE to
face the charge of giving bride.
Both to give and receive brides were
crimes, eaid His Honor. The bride
giver has an unnatural advantage, q
monopoly, over the party who honestly
applies for legis alive action. The re-
suit is that pure and honest men can
obtain no relief. The Court read the
law on bribery, and weJt on 10 say
that the only direct evidence that
money had been given was that one
Delacy had given money. 1t is not
necessary that the person charged
gave the money with his own hand OF
mace the corrupt agreement in per
son, or, in other words, made the
agreement in accordance with the
laws of contract. But if there
was an understanding that one
was to give and the other
was to receive the bride, then the
crime was in commission, whether
directly or indirectly, personally or by
agents, aided, assisted or sbetted, how
ever remotely, in the commission Of
this crime, the guilt 10 established
Delacy is the fountain hesd, and al
who are proven TO be connected, neal
or far away from the fountain head
are guilty. If Delscy received the
money from Richmond, and Richmond
again from Sharp, then Sharp is guilty
II Sharp had a guilty knowledge o.
the scheme, and assisted or abetted in
any way, he is guilty Of the crime
charged. The defendant asked for
